---- Chapter 100: Did Aaron Get a Taste? The house was dead silent. Sebastian usually kept a cool head, blunt but composed, and even when angry, he had never exploded like this before. The sheer intensity of his fury left everyone frozen with fear. Theodore rubbed his swollen face, mumbling weakly, too afraid to speak. Grace was the first to react. "Mom, what are we going to do? Theodore and I haven't worked in twenty years. The kids just graduated and have barely any savings, and my little boy spends a fortune at the hospital every day.
If Sebastian cuts us off, we're doomed!" Judy slammed her hand on the table, her voice sharp as a whip. "Stop whining about being poor! Do you think I didn't notice all the secret money you've been stashing away over the years? What, do you expect me to support you forever?" ---- Without waiting for a reply, she retreated to her room. Despite her harsh words, Judy was secretly convinced Sebastian had only spoken in a fit of anger. He wouldn't actually abandon them. After all, Sebastian had no children. He'd eventually rely on his nieces and nephews for care.
Who in their right mind would donate every last penny of their fortune? She refused to believe it. Sebastian returned home, his heart a storm of grief and rage. That night, he ran a high fever and collapsed into bed. The butler called the family doctor in the middle of the night. After hours of restless care, the fever finally broke. The next morning, the butler met Alvin and mentioned Sebastian's illness. He asked Alvin to let Clara know so she could visit if she had the time. After all, Sebastian had been so happy chatting ---- with Clara the other day.

If she could lift his spirits, maybe his body would recover faster. Clara arrived promptly. Sebastian slept in a haze, barely conscious. When he saw a face that reminded him of Sue, he murmured repeatedly, "Sue... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..." Clara stayed for over half an hour but realized there was nothing she could do. She quietly left. She had a hospital appointment that day to check her head injury; if all went well, she would return to work afterward. After that, she moved back to Riverbend Villas and didn't visit Sebastian again.
Once recovered, Sebastian instructed his assistant to do two things. First, he froze the bank cards he had given his mother and brother-not out of cruelty, but the money he had already provided over the years was more than enough for Judy and Theodore's household. Even if they had to sell that villa, it would cover ---- everything. As for his brother's children, why should that concern him? His mother and brother had cost him his wife and child. Second, he booked a plane ticket to Silverton. He had to go and face Sue, to confess and make amends.
Meanwhile, at a small-town maternity hospital, Scarlett wore a mask, a hat, and a heavy coat, standing tucked away in a corner while Miranda brought the results of her pregnancy test. Soon, Miranda appeared. "You're four weeks along! Congratulations! Come on, let's see the doctor about the results." Scarlett couldn't hide her excitement. The doctor, elderly and unaware of Scarlett's celebrity status, carefully examined the test results. "All looks good," the doctor said. "Make sure to get proper nutrition, especially protein.
